I'll make this as brief as possible because I hate these damn flame wars as
much as anybody else around here.  But personally I agree with using
whatever language suites you.  To me, no other word quite matches 'fuck',
'shit', 'asshole', or any other thing you can name.  You really can't tell me
you can give me a word that matches that, for example: "Richard Nixon is 
an asshole!".  Really doesn't equal: "Dick Nixon is a real Bad Person!".
While it suprised me to see this particular use of language on the net, I was
pleased to see that the net is a place where we can use any language we feel
like.  Do you really agree with CENSORSHIP!  That's not what MY country, the
United States of America was built on!  So don't be a FUCKING ASSHOLE and get
all bent out of shape. -Jack (My opinions are not those of the University
